Hi all, just a very quick one.  I'm doing some work with win api's,
CreateProcessAsUser etc.  Many of the parameter used in these api's are of
type LPCTSTR and LPTSTR.  All my values are stored in AnsiStrings.  So is
there anyway to convert / type case to these two different types and if so,
what is the best method.  I keep bodging it and it sometimes compiles but I
would prefer to be using the correct method.

Thanks in advance,
